#it’s harder than a math class #the diffrence is i wanna actually learn it #not only for fun yes but also because i do wanna be a librettist in the not-opera way #whatever the formal name for that is #because usually libarettist is used in context of operas only but can generally mean anyone who does lyrics and story #for a medium that used music as a storyteller #writer and lyricist in one #though usually the lyricism part is more recognized #while i do want to write books and maybe scrips for TV shows (specifically adult swim animation stuff) #writing for musicals has been a second up dream as a lyricist and scriptmaker #but god music theory sucks #i knwo the basics obvisoly ya boy played clarinet in the fifth grade (and i had a broken reed the ENTIRE time) #but everything was mostly fine till i got to intervals and look #i can tell you about the perfect foruth and the tritone and that’s only because of west side story #even even then my grasp is loose #i can’t say jack shit about other preficts or major or minor intervals just general how halfsteps work #man who do sharps and flats fuck everything up ever #if you’ve made it this far kudos to you or you acridentally clicked read more if so i’m so sorry #oh well #rambles rambles
